Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring it rests evenly on any supporting structure. 2. Thread the nuts onto the bolt legs until snug against the supporting surface. 3. Tighten nuts alternately and evenly to achieve the specified clamping force, avoiding over-tightening which can deform the pipe.
